BG96 keeps rebooting

Hi,

Our custom board is running Linux and BG96 has the following firmware: BG96MAR02A07M1G_01.018.01.018. The ModemManager version is 1.12.6. NetworkManager version 1.20.4.

The following three operations are tested, and are ok.

  1. mmcli -m 1 --set-allowed-modes=β€˜2g|4g’ --set-preferred-mode=β€˜4g’ :ok:
  2. mmcli -m 1 --set-allowed-modes=β€˜2g|4g’ --set-preferred-mode=β€˜2g’ :ok:
  3. mmcli -m 1 --set-allowed-modes=β€˜4g’ :ok:

But when I limited the modem to 2G, the modem keeps rebooting. Power off and on does not stop it from rebooting. Any idea why causes it? and how should I stop the rebooting?

# mmcli -m 3 --set-allowed-modes=β€˜2g’ --set-preferred-mode='none’
successfully set current modes in the modem

Please try to power the module separately.

Have you solved this issue? I’m facing the same with BG96 when I insert a 2G SIM card. I powered the module separately but the problem remains.
